ST. LOUIS — It seems an odd place for a tent city to sprout, just two blocks from Busch Stadium and a few steps away from where World Series revelers are imbibing on a patio at Mike Shannon's Steakhouse.But participants of Occupy St. Louis say they've found a happy coexistence with their hometown Cardinals' run to the World Series. The local offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street Movement set up shop in Kiener Plaza Oct. 1, the day the Cardinals began their unlikely playoff odyssey.
"Maybe we're the Cardinals' good-luck charm," said Brien Redmon, 28, and one of the early participants of the St. Louis movement.
Redmon, who works as a telephone interviewer for a market-research company, says there's a dedicated group of 75 to 100 people at the site at least part of the day, every day, with 30 to 50 sleeping overnight.
